I have some real problems with disclosure. Not the idea of it, but I am not sure it would ever be the ideal. If your government has been lying for 60 years or more, how do you trust that what they finally tell you is the truth? How do you know they aren't just telling you bits of the truth to serve their own purpose? Or even for that matter, making up more lies to cover the real truth or merely to serve a purpose? We would never ever get the full truth because it would be far too tangled in national security issues.
